I had the impression from my mother that what they're planning to give her is to cancel rather than mask the noise, as with noise cancelling headphones, which sounds a little different from what Lisa's tried if so. If that turns out to be the case, I'll let you know how it works for my mother.
I also heard on the BBC World Service yesterday about a new approach which rather than focusing on distracting the sufferer from the noise, actually gets them to concentrate on it. Sunds counterintuitive but apparently it's had a great success rate. The link is here.
As for actually getting rid of it, when you say you haven't been able to find anyone who can work on that, I'm not sure if mean a class of people or a particular person. If it's a class of people, then I believe what you need would probably be a cranial osteopath. I know several excellent ones in Auckland , but since that's hardly of use to you, the best way to find a good one is to ask around a lot. Personal recommendation's important as it's a field where you really need to know what you're doing to get good results. Proper qualifications are also important:many people claim to do cranial work but aren't actually properly trained. I googled cranial osteopathy in Reno, for example, and found two people claiming to do it who were actually just massage therapists. Cranial osteopaths are more difficult to find in the US than in the UK as it tends to be more of a UK speciality. It is an extra year (at least) of training. However, it's far from impossible. I see the Osteopathic Cranial Academy has a function to find people near you (http://www.cranialacademy.com/agreement.html) which might be of assistance.
